Garmin Varia Rearview Radar RTL515

Many cycling accidents are caused by traffic coming up from behind. That's why an extra safety measure warning you of traffic from behind isn't a bad idea. With the Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview Radar, you'll see traffic as it approaches you from behind, and you'll also be clearly visible thanks to the integrated rear light. The Varia Radar can detect traffic behind you from up to an impressive 140 meters away, and immediately notifies you on your paired device. The Garmin Varia RTL515 can be paired with your Garmin Edge bike computer, Garmin smartwatch and even some bike computers from other brands. You can also pair the Rearview Radar with your smartphone, because it has both ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity. The Garmin Varia App will then send a notification about traffic coming on from behind to your smartphone.

Drivers will be able to see you from an impressive 1.5 kilometers away. Your visibility is increased further because the Garmin Varia automatically switches lighting modes when it detects traffic coming up from behind. The Varia RTL515 has both a "day flash" and a continuous lighting mode. Do you often cycle in a group? The peloton mode has a weaker flash, which is easier on the eyes of other cyclists. The compact, vertical design of the Varia RTL515 Rearview Radar means you can install it on almost every type of seat post or bike. The Garmin Varia RTL515 has a battery life of up to 16 hours.
